27 Weeks


ANOTHER crazy week in the Werner lives!

Adam went to Las Vegas over the weekend and had a great time celebrating his friend Mike's Bachelor Party, but spent entirely too much money!  (no surprise there)
Meanwhile, I watched Addison and Ansley from Thursday afternoon to Sunday afternoon.  Can I just say that I have so much respect for Mother's and have NO CLUE how they get ANYTHING done, EVER?!?!?!?!?  How do you keep up with two children AND keep your house clean AND get errands done AND make your husband happy????
Adam and I know we have a whole new adventure coming in October, so it will be interesting adjusting our lives to meet all our new demands.  We know it will be tough, but can't wait to meet our baby girl!

On a different note, I had my glucose tolerance test last week.  I was borderline pass/fail.  I am really hoping it was high because we ate Carrabba's and dessert 12 hours before I took the test.  Not really sure what I was thinking!  I think I wasn't thinking at all!  Luckily, Dr. Greene is having me retake the 1 hour test, rather than going straight to the 3 hour. I will retake the test between 30-32 weeks.  Let's all pray for lower numbers!


Mood: Good - happy to have my husband home after two LONG weekends gone!

Energy: Feeling great!  Hoping these iron pills are working!

Cravings: Sweets.  I could literally eat them all day, BUT, I don't!

Nausea: None

Total Weight Gain: 16 pounds 

BEW this week (per BabyCenter):
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
